You can keep him and we’ll send a tin of Old Bay as a gift. You guys and gals have crabs in Texas?

I would say the Monaco Grand Prix is the most decadent just because of the sheer amount of money that goes into Formula 1. But this would be a close second for sure.

I want to star...but it’s at 69 so....I’m sorry but I can’t :( 

Boy I’ll tell ya h’what....that’s some good, old, wholesome meme content right there. Almost as wholesome as Strickland Propane, Arlen’s #1 destination for propane and propane accessories.

$40k?!?! Oh look, a Golf R right over there.....

There was a “What Car Should I Buy?” where some guy wanted to be a pilot and go to officer’s school or something and everyone told him to get a beater or else he was going to look like the biggest sucker on base.

Booooooooooo

I did a summer program in middle school with our local DOT and one of the city traffic employees told us all the lights are timed based on research and the buttons are basically a placebo and change nothing about the light timing.

I love McLaren, even though if I had the money I’d just buy a Lambo, but there’s a reason why GT cars have been traditionally FR layouts. It looks kind of bloated (for more cabin and boot/trunk space I’m assuming), and McLaren don’t really do GT interiors as well as some of their competitors imo. I think the gold…

All they had to do is paint that horizontal black section the same color as the car. 110% improvement imo.

I’ve always left-shifted my entire life, but I also grew up playing computer games (Counter-Strike 1.6 baby!) and most of the key-bindings for games are on the left side of the keyboard. In fact, the key markings on most of the left side keys are gone from my current keyboard because of gaming. The right side of the…

And FCA is wondering why Alfa didn’t make the “splash” they wanted in NA, even though their cars are sublime to drive. The funny thing is if you tried to get a Maserati Levante, that would have probably been an even bigger shit show of epic proportions. It’s absurd that so many dealers go into deals with the sole…

It’s AMAZING. There’s always free food/drink (LOVE the soda machine), the chairs are comfortable, there’s a quiet/business room, huge televisions, prompt loaner car service, clean and chic bathrooms, fast wi-fi (I’ve actually teleworked from the service lobby before)....it’s a lot of little things that add up and just…

I never condemned all Mercedes’ dealerships in my post. The ultimate point is that respect and treating people with the Golden Rule moves far more sheet-metal than being a stereotyping meanie. You keep going back to that dealer because they treat you well. If they didn’t, you wouldn’t. I can probably assume that the…

Exactly. If Mazda thinks that they can get the customer demographic they want with this sort of half-ass attempt at reform, they’re badly mistaken. There’s so much parity between segments now, there’s really nothing stopping a qualified buyer that’s looking at upscale or full luxury vehicles from just getting all the…

Cheers, it’s a classic I pull out the vault every now and then.

It all depends on the salesperson. A lot of POC have similar stories, and in many cases, the salesperson is also a POC (the salesman in the Mercedes dealer was a black guy). It’s just part of that old school dealership slimeball tradition of stereotyping the fuck out of every customer that walks in the door,…

Over the last nearly 20 years, my mother has owned only two vehicles, both brand new Lexus vehicles (Lexi?). The one thing she loves the most (besides the reliability) is the service/dealer experience. Mercedes dealer? Salesman saw my mother was a black woman and opened his pitch with a 10 (ten!) year finance package,…

You know why they don’t embrace it. Their entire existence is predicated on ripping off consumers. Being practical and efficient does not aid in their overall goal of trying to take advantage of every single soul that is unlucky enough to have to deal with them.

I believe the Village People had a tad bit more diversity.
